Well, not really, it's part of it. Most people like the fact that a journalled FS doesn't need to be fsck'd after unclean shutdown. I think softdeps just keep the metadata from getting munged. The background fsck for softdep in FreeBSD 5 allows for quick recovery. http://www.shiningsilence.com/dbsdlog/archives/000212.html -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
